Clausen was the higher education commissioner for the state. And as such, she was in charge of everything college and university related including any budgets cuts that have came and will come down the pipe from the legislature.
Little is known about why Clausen resigned but her resignation letter was released. In it she said she was a distraction to the work of the board of regents. The letter does not detail specifics.
The board of regents will have an emergency meeting tomorrow at noon to put together a search committee for a new commissioner. The sooner the better. The legislative session is about to close and higher ed needs a leader to steer through the next round of cuts.
